SCH3U0-01Tuesday, October 25, 2011Nick Lane, the author, has a very big interest in the mitochondria. The book gives very detailed descriptions about the mitochondria and biological terms regarding about the mitochondria. The title “Power, Sex, Suicide” got me interested to read the book. The title relates to the book itself because the book itself talks about a bit of evolution of life, the sexual reproduction, and the process of aging. “Mitochondria – The Meaning of Life”, the subtitle, gives the general idea of what the book is about. At first, mitochondria was typically known as “The power centers of the cell” but in this book, Nick has given effort out of interest to make a book that talks more about the interesting facts about the mitochondria and how it affects the evolution of humanity. The mitochondria, isn’t just a powerhouse of a cell, it was thought to be an “independent bacteria living lives” and the name originated from the Mitochondrial Eve. The author would take us back in the past at around 2-3 billion years ago and it gives us an introduction of the whole process of the evolutionary process of the mitochondria. He would split the information of the process of the evolutionary process of the mitochondria in 7 sections where each section explains a piece of the origin of the mitochondria and how it is today. When the mitochondria were still known as “independent bacteria living lives”, the book explains about how through the process of “endosymbiosis” it was being taken into organelles and became a part of the development of where we are now. Without the mitochondria being engulfed by other single – celled eukaryotes, then life on earth wouldn’t be as evolved as it is now.

From reading this book, it was in a way that if you don’t know too much about the mitochondria, you will be confused. After a few times of reading the same section of the book, you’re able to see the...

...did not anticipate editing the show to remove Turpin. The Contender not only features the boxers in the ring, it also spotlights their personal lives.
Turpin's girlfriend and their 2-year-old daughter, Anje, are also featured.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of his death and our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family," Marks said yesterday.
All of the episodes for the boxing reality series have been filmed except for the live finale, set for May.
Turpin's death isn't the first time television has found itself grappling with true reality. In the Swedish version of Survivor, a member of the cast committed suicide after he was the first person voted off the island. Update, Sept. 6: Bruce Goldfarb, a spokesman for the state medical examiner's office, confirmed on Friday morning that the manner of Josh Burdette's death was suicide.
Concert venues are about the live music experience, but then again, they're not. We were reminded of this on Monday when 9:30 Club spokeswoman Audrey Fix Schaefer confirmed the Washington venue's manager and "face of the Club" Josh Burdette had died on Sunday. He was 36.
Judging from the immediate and emotional outpouring on social media, the death of Burdette -- the affable manager/head of security with the large ear plugs and heavily inked forearms who had been a 9:30 fixture since 1997 -- is a substantial loss for the club, the East Coast music scene and beyond.

...Opinion: Page 5-6
The definition of suicide is when a person who intentionally takes his or her own life. To do something intentionally is to do it on purpose, to mean to do it. (1)
First Cause: When something is gravely wrong in a person’s life. As of anything bad that’s going on or something they can’t handle. For example financial problems, family problems, self-problems, and school problems. (2)
Second Cause: Someone that have a mental or emotional disorder. Suicide victims suffer from major depression or bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder. Manic-depressive order is a bipolar affective disorder, or mood disorder, characterized by dramatic mood swings. (2)
First Solution: Suicide victims visit a doctor in the four months before their deaths, and half in the month before. Mainly because most older persons who are suicidal visit their primary care physician in the mouth before killing themselves, with nearly, 40 percent making that visit in the week before committing suicide. One explanation given is that doctors may not associate an older person’s behavior with depression. In older patients, the classic symptoms of sadness and withdrawal are frequently replaced with irritability or apathy. (2) (3)
Second Solution: giving a suicidal person the opportunity to express his or her feelings can provide relief from loneliness and pent-up negative feelings, and may prevent a suicide attempt. The...

Abstract
Suicide is an act of intentionally ending one’s own life committed out of despair, mental disorders and stress. The Filipinos committing suicide is a mind-boggling act and this paper would serve as an awareness to people that some interactions with the community: family, friends, peers, school, and network can affect even a teenage Filipino to give in to suicidal thoughts . . . which is rare given the fact that a Filipino at heart is considered as one of the happiest people on earth. The paper also aims to understand the mind of a teenager with beyond raging hormones on why would they commit such act despite of being called the happiest. Further research and interviews will lead this project to a series of paintings inter-connected with each other that will interpret the student artist’s understanding the a teenage Filipino commit suicidal ideation.

...Teenage suicide has over time become a major issue in today’s society. Suicide is the intentional act of taking one’s own life and is a serious issue that should be addressed as quickly as possible (Zeinert, 28). Teen suicide has been the topic of various news headlines; yet it still continues to have dramatic effects on today’s youth. In the United States, suicide is currently the eighth leading cause of death for Americans, along with the third leading cause for teenagers aged 15-24 (Dolce, 13). These statistics are startling due to the fact that teen suicide is a very preventable form of death. There are many incorrect common beliefs that come up with the subject of teen suicide. An example of this is that people who commit suicide don’t give any warning signs (Barnes, 23). When someone is thinking about suicide, they almost always show warning signs of being suicidal (Dolce, 30). Along with this, there have also been a number of misconceptions about the leading cause of teenage suicide. Learning about the causes of suicide, different types of mental disorders, and even common warning signs can all be helpful tools in suicide prevention.
Bullying is quickly becoming one of the leading causes of teenage suicide. Each year, a recorded 5,000 young men and women between the ages of 15-24 die by...

...Argumentative Essay:
Suicide is the act of deliberately killing yourself. The statement “life is precious, there are no circumstances where the taking of your own life is an acceptable option” is saying that suicide shouldn’t be allowed and there are no circumstances in life where it is acceptable. This essay will be talking about why people commit suicide and if it is the right thing to do or not. It will look at different viewpoints and talk about the increasing percentage of suicides in the world.
Anyone who has taken the decision of committing suicide might not have to endure the pain on Earth and may believe that taking suicide is an safer and easier solution to the problems he/she are coping with. The person might not want to live and since it is their own life they can take that decision although I think that it isn’t the end to the problem, it will cause more trouble. I think that taking suicide is thought as being a coward and giving up, I think you should fight your problem. It is very rare that someone dies by suicide because of one cause; there are usually several causes for suicide e.g. bullying. Many people take suicide because depression is triggered by several negative life experiences and the person does not receive treatment for the depression. I believe that there is a solution for your problem and you shouldn’t...
